Is there a waiting period before reapplying for Croatian temporary stay for other purposes?

There is a specific restriction on the other-purposes category: a new application can only be submitted once six months have passed from the expiry of your previous temporary stay.

This prevents back-to-back use of the residual route and means you should plan transitions carefully. If you need continuous residence, consider whether a dedicated category such as work, study or family reunification fits your situation rather than relying on the other-purposes route.
